Round separate net fence spans by exact installed product module, then reconcile reviewed post and gate schedules, matching stock, whole sale packs and incomplete quotes.
A quick decision brief for this specific tool
Separate approved net panel spans, exact installed product modules and reduced-bay rules, plus independently reviewed post/gate schedules, matching stock, explicit spares, sale packs and optional quotes
Per-span installed bays and reduced-bay dimensions, source-panel totals by SKU, separate gate openings, reviewed post quantity, pack purchases, surplus and known/unknown entered subtotal
Round every physical span independently before grouping exact SKUs; reconcile required units plus explicit spares against matching stock and indivisible supplier packs
Choose your path
Reconcile independently rounded net panel spans, exact installed product modules, reviewed post and gate schedules, matching stock and whole sale packs without fabricating design or site requirements.
Avoid pooling leftover length across physically separate spans.
Split net panel-only spans at corners, gates, grade and product changes; assign the exact installed module to each.
Sees four source panels for two 9 ft spans on an 8 ft module instead of the unsafe pooled result of three.
Distinguish installed bay dimensions from nominal widths and raw saw-cut lengths.
Record the current module datum, whether reduced bays are permitted, its reviewed minimum and the separately derived post/gate schedule.
Gets complete per-span bay records without panels-plus-one topology or a universal cut instruction.
Reconcile exact SKUs, usable matching stock, explicit spares, supplier packs and incomplete quotes.
Enter reviewed requirements and price sources; inspect known and unknown lines before downloading or explicitly saving the versioned record to Project.
Never reads blank prices as free or new Fence quantities alongside an old Project cost; Concrete and approval state remain separate.
Outputs and checklists are planning aids. Review the linked current authorities and the records, terms, instructions, and requirements that apply to your exact situation before a consequential decision.
This tool is part of these guided projects. Each project provides step-by-step instructions with checklists and all the tools you need in one place.
Tools you might need next
Reconcile separate net chain-link fabric spans, reviewed line and terminal posts, rail or wire support, attachment intervals, exact sale units and incomplete quotes.
Build and compare source-owned fence cost scenarios. Reconcile written amounts, unit rates, bundled items and unknown fees before comparing equivalent scopes.
Build a fence material record from actual board dimensions, separate infill faces and reviewed rail or item schedules. Reconcile complete cuts, usable stock, sale packs and optional quotes.
Enter each physical panel-only span separately and split at corners, gates, grade or product changes. A gate opening is its own reviewed schedule and is not subtracted again from already-net spans.
bays per physical span = ceil(net installed span ÷ exact installed module)Record the selected product's actual installed measurement datum and whether its current instructions permit reduced bays. The reported smallest installed bay is not a universal recommendation or raw saw-cut dimension.
source panels = sum(independently rounded bays × identical span copies) by exact SKUEnter posts, gates and other whole items from the approved schedule; nothing is inferred as panels plus one. Match stock, add only explicit spares, round supplier packs and keep unquoted costs unknown.
packs = ceil(max(0, required + explicit spare − usable matching stock) ÷ units per pack)Updated: August 2026
Two 9-foot net spans using an 8-foot installed module each require two source panels, for four total; the tool never pools them into three.
An installer enters posts from the actual topology and records the gate's hardware-clearance opening separately from leaf width and net panel spans.
A buyer reconciles required panels, explicit spares and matching stock to whole sale packs; a blank post quote leaves the total unknown instead of treating posts as free.
Split independent physical spans first and round each one; do not share a source panel or offcut unless a separately optimized cutting record proves that allocation.
Use exact product and quote sources; preserve unknowns and route design, concrete and excavation decisions to responsible reviews.
Build a source-owned panel and purchase record without pooling leftovers across corners, gates, grades or product changes. Installed modules, reduced-bay permission, posts and gate openings come from the exact reviewed system and layout; property, utility, structural, concrete and approval decisions remain outside.
